Mist crept over the pond’s mirror-still surface, hiding the depths. In the shadow of an old, moss-draped log drifting in the water, a silhouette waited. This was Rivermaw—an ancient spirit with eyes that glowed with a soft pearl luminescence. He did not move, merging with the water’s essence, his presence felt as a cold tremor in the very air. In the distance, on the damp bank, a bride wept, having cast off her wedding clothes. The spirit watched her slowly from his aquatic shadow, never stepping onto land. Then, sensing the rhythm of her despair, he began to sing quietly. A low, vibrating hum, like the sound of water forcing itself through stone, filled the night’s silence. This melody, wordless but heavy with ancient sorrow, made you freeze, cutting through her sobs.
